I forgive serial abuser John Smyth

Laura Kuenssberg talks to Justin Welby, the former Archbishop of Canterbury. As the figurehead for the 85 million people in over 165 countries who call themselves Anglicans, he presided over some of the key events in the Commonwealth of the last ten years, including the funeral of Queen Elizabeth II. But his tenure was clouded, and eventually ended, by an abuse scandal that shook the church.This interview is the first with Justin Welby since he resigned.

The Interview was made by Clare Williamson and Lucy Sheppard. It was hosted by Laura Kuenssberg. The editor is Sam Bonham.

Thanks to our colleagues all over the BBC, and all over the world, for their support making The Interview.
